Currently, when one tries to include page 10 of a 9 page document, pdftex quits. Is it possible to continue and return an empty xform with say 3.141592pt by 3.141592pt dimensions? 

Also, is it possible in case of a 'fatal' error which is not that fatal, to finish the file so that we get at least a valid pdf file; the alternative is to delete the file; it's really annoying to get back a file which is corrupt. In that case, no file at all is better.
